Creator and Redeemer



Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:


God worked together with his eternal Son creating all things.


God is the creator, Jesus is God the Son. Everything was created by him and for him. This is made clear again in Hebrews 1:1-3


Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;


Hebrews repeats what Paul has said in these verses of Colossians and adds the purpose of his coming; to purge our sins. They are removed, God himself became as a man just to make you and I free. We had better not forget this great gift. Thank you our precious and almighty Lord Jesus!
